On bench Sunday
Basallo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Análise
Basallo hasn't started against a lefty since June 3, though including Sunday, Baltimore has faced just five southpaw starters during that stretch. The rookie catcher has a .258/.329/.485 slash line with five homers, 15 RBI and six runs in his past 19 contests. Coby Mayo is batting fifth as the designated hitter in Sunday's series finale versus Nick Lodolo.

While he still tends to sit against lefties, Basallo is slashing .257/.322/.470 with 14 homers, 42 RBI and 31 runs scored across 276 plate appearances in what has been a strong rookie campaign.

Cracks two-run homer in win
Basallo went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Friday's 3-0 win over the Reds.
Análise
Friday's series opener was a low-scoring affair, so Basallo's two-run shot off Brady Singer in the fifth inning was a crucial one for the Orioles, who entered the game having lost four straight. It was the 13th home run of the season for Basallo, which is tied with Carter Jensen for fourth most among rookies this season. Basallo has gone 13-for-51 (.255) with three home runs and 10 RBI over his last 15 games.

Idle against lefty
Basallo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Análise
The Orioles have been giving the left-handed-hitting Basallo more exposure to same-handed pitching in recent weeks, but he'll hit the bench Wednesday while southpaw Noah Schultz starts for the White Sox. With Basallo taking a seat, Adley Rutschman will handle catching duties and Pete Alonso will serve as the Orioles' designated hitter.
